WOMEN’S BASKETBALL:

Old Dominion legend Ticha Penicheiro will be inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2019.

Penicheiro will be the fourth player from Old Dominion and the sixth Monarch to be inducted. She’ll join Anne Donovan (Hall of Fame class of 1999), Nancy Lieberman (1999), head coach Marianne Stanley (2002), Inge Nissen (2012) and current head coach Nikki McCray (2012).

During her ODU career from 1994 to 1998, Penicheiro recorded 1,304 points (23rd all-time for ODU), 939 assists (second all-time) and 591 steals (first all-time). A two-time All-American, Penicheiro led ODU to the 1997 NCAA championship game as well as four straight Colonial Athletic Association titles.

Penicheiro went on to have an illustrious WNBA career, playing most of her career with the Sacramento Monarchs. She was a four-time All-Star and two-time All-WNBA first-team selection and won the 2005 WNBA championship with Sacramento.

Penicheiro currently ranks second all-time in WNBA history in assists and, in 2016, was named in the WNBA Top 20@20, a list of the league’s top 20 players of all-time in celebration of the WNBA’s 20th anniversary.
